Why are some devices getting it but not others? /dev/ttyS? get the sticky bit even though the serial port driver is linked into the kernel and this issue is thus irrelevant (at least on amd64). /dev/watchdog is from the softdog module which can be unloaded but it doesn't have the sticky bit. Why is /dev/watchdog a good device to remove? /dev/sd* device have the sticky bit set, but they are removed when the hardware is removed (EG unplugging a USB flash device).
